Rejoice in the Lord always

(delight, gladden yourselves

in Him), again I say rejoice!

(Philippians 4.4)

Do not be grieved and depressed,

for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

(Nehemiah 8.10b).

There is a river whose streams shall

make glad the city of God, the holy

place of the tabernacles of the Most

High.

(Psalm 46.4).

So for the present you are also in

sorrow, but I will see you again

and then your hearts will rejoice,

and no one can take from you

your joy.

(John 16.22).
